- ambition, open-mindedness, thankful, uniqueness and humor
In 5 years, I believe that these values would be influencing my life in a good way.  
In 10 years, I believe that these values will remind me of who I am or who I need to come back to if I have lost my way.
In 20 years, I can envision these 5 values being essential to my life being that I do not think I am going to change too much, personality wise.
Of my top 5 the value that seems most central in the long term would be to keep an open mind. Sometimes life does not go as planned and I forget that sometimes. Keeping my mind open to new paths would be most valuable. ]]> 2019-01-16 17:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/321345235 awyrick2 https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/322228183 I was taught that I had to brainstorm first, and that was a must with my teachers back home. Research was something that usually came once all of my ideas were final, to help support my claims. Then the next step was to put all of my ideas in specific paragraphs (i.e. Intro, P1, P2, P3, Conclusion). After all of that you just started writing.]]> 2019-01-18 17:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/322228183 awyrick2 https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/322232268 What makes writing good for me is getting their point across in a clear way. Another thing that makes writing good is having structure on what is being written. If the writer's ideas are all over the place it can sometimes be hard to put the bits and pieces together to understand the main idea. For me, I do not like when I have to figure out what the writer's point is because sometimes you just do not know. ]]> 2019-01-18 17:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/322232268 awyrick2 https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/328383783 My most memorable writing experience was when I was very little in first grade. We had this letter thing in my school called "We Mail", where we would write letters to different friends in different classes and even different grades if we wanted. By doing this we all had to come up with a name for our classroom , so that could be the "street" that we lived on. I remember making up all of these funky names just so our classroom could be remembered the most. The only people who really made a difference in my writing is when I first started to do this it was in first grade. Whoever was in sixth grade got assigned a "pen pal" that would write to a first grader. I remember writing back and forth trying to impress them with how well I was able to write at such a young age even though it probably was not that well written, in my first grade mindset, I sounded very mature. Feelings that I had that could have impacted my writing was trying to get a lot of my friends to write to me only so I could get a ton of letters. ]]> 2019-02-06 17:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/328383783 awyrick2 https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/330917121 I do think that she did make very good arguments that we should be living in the moment. She mentions how her newborn baby was looking up at her but she was too busy looking down, not at her baby, but at her phone. She made a good emphasis on how she should be more interested in living in the moment and not living in a screen. I think that she made her points very clear and that she should take moments to live in the moment. While having this amazing technology, we need to put the phone down every so often to just have some time to ourselves. Personally, I do believe that she is right. My generation especially when you walk around campus everyone's heads are usually down looking at the phone when in reality we go to school in this amazing place where there are palm trees everywhere and the weather is amazing. Sometimes I think that everyone forgets to live in the moment now, with every generation. Even my parents are always on their phones, granted most of the time it is for work but they do still spend most of their time on their phone.]]> 2019-02-13 17:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/330917121 awyrick2 https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/334688073 I feel that the strong part of my rhetorical analysis was when I explained why I chose Lizzie Velasquez. I feel that my reason is well written and well explained in my essay. 
I feel that all of my paper needs a lot of work that I just do not know how to fix, being that I have never written a rhetorical analysis before this class. 
I plan on moving forward with my essay by rereading my essay carefully and taking the notes that my teacher gives me and applying them to my essay.
During my whole essay, I was basically stuck being that I generally did not know how to answer the questions asked in paragraph form without sounding repetitive.
The assignment sheet was clear. ]]> 2019-02-25 03:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/334688073 awyrick2 https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/334693237 - homeless?

I liked how he argued from both sides and stayed kind of neutral with his supporting arguments. I also liked how he did not only value the left or right side, he looked at both sides' arguments and thought them out fairly. He also spoke about how both sides are basically right, they just have trouble seeing that when their focus is what is wrong with the other party.]]> 2019-02-25 17:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/334989687 awyrick2 https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/351239529 - This research project is going fairly well. The only bump in the road I am having is when I have to reference every source and meeting the word count. The annotated bibliography was helpful since we had to actually go through my sources and read them throughly in order to give a good summary for the annotated bibliography. I do think that the research proposal helped too. As much as I honestly hated doing it, it has helped when writing my article since it helped me map out my issue in Tucson. 
-I think the the best part about my project would be seeing the processes Tucson is doing to try and help the homeless people in the community.
-I got stuck on this project trying to reach the word count and make my research article, sound more like an article compared to just a simple research paper. Another challenge was finding credible sources referring to Tucson specifically rather than other big homeless hubs like Los Angeles. 
-My drafting just was a lot of backspacing and rereading what I was writing to make sure it made sense. I am proud of the amount of research that I did find. Honestly I feel that I did everything just fine, nothing was wrong but maybe I could have done a little better. ]]> 2019-04-12 17:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/awyrick2/wyrick102/wish/351239529
